Sorry i posted this on lfs-book instead of lfs-dev so here is a repost
Hello all,
after a drive crash I now rebuilded my LFS on a new HDD,
the drive
mounted with:
mkdir -pv $LFS
mount -v -t ext3 /dev/sdc3 $LFS
mkdir -v $LFS/boot
mount -v -t ext2 /dev/sdc1 $LFS/boot
mkdir -v $LFS/home
mount -v -t ext3 /dev/sdc4 $LFS/home
now when i run grub-install --grub-setup=/bin/true /dev/sdc from chroot it
hangs forever.

Probably. Or at least a hint
on a GPT labeled device, you need to
create a BIOS Boot Partition, which GRUB will detect and use.
So you might not need a filesystem on /boot, but you still need to
setup a non-LVM, non-RAID partition so the BIOS can find your GRUB2
kernel, which is more or less the same amount of hassle
